Hello, curious minds! Stuck on the challenge? Don’t worry I’ve got a hint to help you think like a true scientist!

Select Your Region

Team up your experts: How can the agricultural engineer, soil scientist, and meteorologist work together to plan for heat and drought?

Think smart with water: How could technology help farmers use less water but still grow healthy crops?

Use what you have: Could recycled water, rain collection, or soil additives help keep farms productive?

Pacific Region

Southwest Region

Healthy soil, healthy food: How does water use affect plant health and soil safety? Ask the environmental health specialist.

Think like a team: How can the data analyst and agricultural engineer work together to save water and grow food?

Tech to the rescue: How could drones, robots, or sensors help monitor soil and target water only where it’s needed?

Think safety first: How can farmers prepare before a storm hits to protect animals, crops, and equipment?

Mid-West Region

Keep food moving: What can the logistics coordinator do to make sure food still reaches stores even when roads are flooded?

Use your team wisely: What roles could each career play in creating a fast and effective storm response plan?
